Seadet-i Ebediyye - Endless Bliss Fifth Fascicle

places: The first in Mekka on the seventh day of Dhu’l-hijja month;
the second at ’Arafât when the time for the early afternoon prayer
comes, before the early and late afternoon prayers on the ninth
day; and the third at Minâ on the eleventh day. At ’Arafât, when
khutba is over, the early afternoon prayer and immediately
thereafter the late afternoon prayer are performed in jamâ’at. A
person who is late for the jamâ’at performs the late afternoon
prayer at the time of the late afternoon prayer. After the salât, the
imâm and the jamâ’at leave the Masjîd-i-Namra to go to the
Mawqif and, the imâm sitting on an animal and the hadjis staying
on the ground, standing or sitting towards the Qibla, they perform
the waqfa. It is better for the jamâ’at to be on animals, too. It is not
necessary to mount the rocks of Jabal-i-rahma or to make niyya
for the waqfa. [The salât which is performed behind the imâm who
belongs to a group of bid’at should be reperformed. For, it has
been stated in hadîth-i sherifs that worships performed by people
who belong to a group of bid’at will not be accepted.]
4 - To leave Mekka for ’Arafât on the day of Terwiya, that is,
on the eighth day of Dhu’l-hijja, after the morning prayer. Mina is
the first stop after leaving Mekka.
5 - To sleep at Minâ on the night before the ’Arafa day and on
the nights of the first, second and third days of the ’Iyd. It is not
obligatory to stay at Minâ on the third night and day. Please see
the first paragraph of the sixtieth chapter of the third fascicle of
Endless Bliss.
6 - To leave Minâ for ’Arafât after sunrise.
7 - To sleep at Muzdalfa on the night of ’Arafa. You go from
’Arafât to Muzdalfa and, when the time for the night prayer
comes, you perform the evening and night prayers one
immediately after the other in jamâ’at. Those who have performed
the evening prayer at ’Arafât or on the way have to perform it
again together with the night prayer at Muzdalfa, in jamâ’at or
individually.
8 - To stay for Waqfa after dawn at Muzdalfa. Spending the
night at Muzdalfa, you perform the morning prayer immediately
after dawn and then perform the waqfa at a place called
Mesh’arilharâm until everything becomes twilit. Then you leave
for Minâ before sunrise. On the way you should not stop at the
valley called Mukhasser. This is the place to stop for the As-hâb-ifîl.
After coming to Minâ, at a place called Jamra-i-aqaba, which is
the farthest from the Masjid-i-Khîf, by using the thumb and the
pointing finger of your right hand you throw seven pebbles as big
